  First record of the Giant House Bat Scotophilus nigrita (Schreber, 1774) in Cameroon (Mammalia, Chiroptera)

  ABSTRACT
  We report the first record of the Giant House Bat Scotophilus nigrita (Schreber, 1774) (Mammalia, Chiroptera), from Cameroon where this species was never documented before. Scotophilus nigrita is one of the biggest species of Microchiropterans. Some misidentifications were noted before 1978 with S. dingani (A. Smith, 1833) being identified as S. nigrita.
